My brief review of IT FOLLOWS

March 29, 2015

I saw IT FOLLOWS today. What a cool, little horror movie that was. It’s not full of a bunch of “scary” jump cuts. It also doesn’t go the grungy, grimy route a la SAW and HOSTEL. It takes a neat little premise: the idea that a person who is being followed by this thing has sex with someone else and passes it along, and makes it a well-acted, nicely-photographed, thrifty little horror/thriller. The star, Maika Monroe, might just make a name for herself in the horror and thriller genres, if this movie and THE GUEST are any indication. She’s good at being scared and screaming, and the camera seems to like her. I recommend IT FOLLOWS.
